A Scottish health authority recently posted a job regarding quality assurance in the mental health services it offers. Buried in the job description was the revelation that its mental health hospital fields around 350 complaints a year, and over 900 adverse events.
Wow, this is shocking isn't it? It would be interesting to get statistics across MH services and beyond Scotland too. Something systemic seems to be going on. From a different perspective - that of access of young people and children to mental health services - there seems to be another systemic crisis. A perfect storm of resources, archaic attitudes and discriminatory practices... maybe?
